He said he won $45, so I guess he played some of it back, or he was already down before the leprechaun showered him with coins.
Hick also sent a pic from the Picker's Store.
Again, I have partially disguised Hick to protect the innocent. And I'm NOT talking about Hick. Along with this photo, he included a message:
"Good picture of me and big boy got lots of pictures when o get home"
Because, you know, pictures have to be driven back home on Hick's phone, across state lines, and then set to send to my phone, in the House With No Bars. Maybe by Christmas, I will have received these special photos of Hick's summer vacation. I still haven't gotten the two pictures he sent me on Monday of HOS's new baby boy.
I think it's pretty safe to say that Hick was the only guy from Missouri who showed up at the Picker's Store in Iowa wearing a Milwaukee shirt with his Oklahoma hat.
So, did Hick buy that Big Boy? I hope he did...
ReplyDeleteNo. Probably the only reason he did not was because it wouldn't fit in the back of A-Cad for the drive home. Shouldn't have taken that gas can...
DeleteI love the dancing leprechaun machines!
ReplyDeleteThey don't love ME! I only play them in Oklahoma. Apparently they like Hick. It may progress into love.
DeleteHe probably bought the trash can.
ReplyDeleteHeh, heh. I asked him why there was a trash can, and he said it was probably just a trash can.
DeleteThen he looked at the picture, and said, "Oh, they sell them. A lot of people want those metal cans these days. They were charging $45."
Let the record show that Hick has TWO of these cans, spares, that he said, "Oh, I need to remember to take them to my Storage Unit Store to sell." He has at least two more, because they're full of sweet feed for the goat and mini-pony, and corn for the chickens we used to have before the neighbor dogs killed them.
Hick looks plum proud. Was he excited over the Big boy or the little green guy?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it was the Big Boy who got Hick's blood pumping.
DeleteI see Hick favours a Kenny Rogers style beard.
ReplyDeleteWAIT a minute! He's not really Kenny Rogers in disguise is he?
River--Not even Kenny Rogers looks like Kenny Rogers these days...
DeleteSioux, that's exactly what I was going to say, but I was late for the comment party today.
DeleteA regular Beau Brummel!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to share that with Hick. First of all, because I'm pretty sure he's never heard of Beau Brummel, and secondly, because he might try to moonlight as a runway model. The world is not ready for that.
